                    [Title] => Life, death and all that jazz
                    [Summary] => Memory makes a mist of it all. Was I miserable when I first discovered jazz? Did I become cheerless after listening to Mingus’ Goodbye Pork Pie Hat or Coltrane’s After the Rain? Two tunes that communicate a parable of nostalgia and longing without the need for words. (It is quite a joy to hear ‘Trane, Charlie Parker or Wayne Shorter spin sweet and strange saxophone truths.)

Trouble is, most of them never really try hard enough.

I am amazed by my computer’s ability to screw itself up. There’s always something bugging that hell-spawn PC – whether it’s a malfunctioning modem or digitally transmitted disease.

I was in one of those moods last week (an Attila the Hun of a week I should say) until I chanced upon the very first Jaco Pastorius anthology titled "Punk Jazz." It was the cosmos’ way of telling me all is fine. That music can be one’s ticket out of a self-created rut.

The "world’s greatest bass player" changed the role of the electric bass forever and churned out great compositions and arrangements in the process – some with the detached cool of jazz, some with the hot evil rhythms of funk, some with the dark magnificence of rock n’ roll.
